IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
To ensure the safe operation of this machine, you must read and understand all warnings and instructions in this book. If you do not understand, ask your supervisor.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS MACHINE
WARNING : To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury:
1. You must be trained to operate this machine. This machine is to be operated for its intended use only.
2. Do not operate this machine unless it is completely assembled.
3. Always use a three-wire electrical system connected to the electrical ground. For maximum protection against electrical shock, use a circuit that is protected by a ground fault circuit interrupter. Consult your electrical contractor.
4. To prevent electric shock, always remove the electrical plug from the electrical outlet before doing any repairs or maintenance and when leaving the machine unattended.
5. To prevent electric shock, keep the machine surface dry. Do not subject to rain. Store the machine in a dry building area.
Clean the machine with a dry cloth only.
6. Machines can cause an explosion when near flammable materials and vapors. Do not use this machine with or near fuels, grain dust, solvents, thinners, or other flammable materials. Do not use flammables to clean this machine.
7. A qualified or authorized person must do maintenance and repairs.
8. To prevent damage to the power cord, do not move this machine over the power cord. Always lift the power cord over the machine. Do not pull or carry cord, use cord as a handle, close a door on cord, or pull cord around sharp edges or corners. Keep cord away from heated surfaces.
9. Do not use with damaged cord or plug. If the machine is not working as it should, has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or dropped into water, bring it to a service center.
Grounding Instructions
This machine must be grounded. If it should malfunction or break down, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This machine is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and grounding plug. The plug must be inserted into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
WARNING - Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service person if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the machine. If it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
This machine is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit, and has a grounded plug that looks like the plug illustrated in figure A. A temporary adapter that looks like the adapter illustrated in figures
B and C may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in figure B if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet (figure A) can be installed by a qualified electrician. The green colored rigid ear, lug, or the like extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover. Whenever the adapter is used, it must be held in place by a metal screw.
NOTE: In Canada, the use of a temporary adapter is not permitted by the Canadian Electrical Code
EXTENSION CORDS
Use only three-wire 12/3 or larger gauge approved extension cords that have three-prong grounding type plugs and three-pole receptacles that accept the appliance’s plug. Replace or repair any damaged cords or plugs.
When servicing, refer to authorized person only. Use only identical replacement parts.

NOTE: Do not use adapters shown in figures B & C in Cana da
OPERATING PROCEDURES
WARNING! For the safe operation of this machine follow the instructions given in this booklet and the training given by your supervisor. Failure to do so can result in personal injury and/or damage to machine and property!
DO NOT OPERATE MACHINE IN AN EXPLOSIVE ENVIRONMENT!
The model shown in this manual is intended for commercial use.
PREPARATION
To prepare the machine for operation, make sure it is of correct voltage and properly assembled.
Your new floor machine operates in the normal side to side motion of a conventional single disc machine. Be prepared before starting by removing all obstructions or other obstacles in the area to be cleaned. Check the proper application recommendations and procedures found on the label of your cleaning or finish container. IF IN DOUBT, CALL
YOUR SUPERVISOR .
WARNING! NEVER USE THIS MACHINE WITH FLAMMABLE OR EXPLOSIVE MATERIAL!
For Scrubbing or Polishing: Select the correct floor pad or brush (your supplier can help you). If in doubt, ask your supervisor.
NEVER OPERATE THE MACHINE WITHOUT THE FLOOR PAD OR BRUSH INSTALLED!
To properly attach the brush, UNPLUG THE FLOOR MACHINE, lay the machine on its side and remove the screw in the bottom of the drive adaptor. Position the brush or pad on the drive adaptor. Assemble the attachment screw and tighten.
OPERATION
Plug the machine’s power cable into a 14/3 extension cable and then a properly grounded outlet (see Safety Instructions). Next, adjust the handle height to a comfortable position.
Start the machine by depressing the trigger switch in the handle.
The machine will glide sideways over the floor by a slight raising and lowering of the handle. Raise the handle slightly to go left, or lower the handle slightly to go right. Releasing the switch lever stops the machine.
MAINTENANCE
AFTER EACH USE: Store the machine in a clean dry area. Wipe the entire machine and cord down with a clean cloth. CHECK the cord and plug for nicks, cuts or damage. Report these to your supervisor for correction. Remove the pad or brush and clean thoroughly.
NOTE: To prevent brush damage and reduce wobble problems, do not store the unit with the machine weight on the brush. Either remove the brush or support the unit on a hook while in the storage position.
WARNING! Always disconnect the machine’s electrical plug from the electrical outlet before performing any service, maintenance, pad changing or inspection of the machine.
MOTOR: The motor is lubricated for life under normal use. No oiling or greasing is necessary.
If you have any questions regarding the maintenance of your floor machine, ASK YOUR SUPERVISOR.
